I try not to lift too much from Radley Balko, since I figure a lot of the same people read his blog and mine, but this was too good: Why you can’t smoke pot. (Because there’s sooooooo much money and lobbying for the drug warriors.)

“10 Rules for a Literary Feud.” No, seriously. It’s not some intellectual snoot piece. Rule 5! It’s SO true! And for that matter, so are 4 and 3. (Tip o’ hat to JS.)

Speaking of sources I normally don’t believe, that fundraising monster (and champion hate group) the Southern Poverty Law Center is right up there at the top of the “take with entire truckload of salt” list. Still, I’m considering this to be good news.
